This volume contains case studies which examine illegal behaviors by, against, within, and among organizations in specific legal, administrative, regulatory, social, and economic contexts. The focus in each essay is on the behavior of organizations in a particular industry, rather than on specific individuals who commit the violations. Different types of business organizations are covered to illuminate a range of structural and organizational issues in organizational law violations. Organizations discussed include nursing homes, waste management organizations, savings and loans, securities firms, and industrial corporations. The essays aim to obtain a better understanding of the motives and sanctions, the incentives and disincentives, and the structural influences that shape organizational crime, and to illuminate the diverse effects of self-regulation, industry regulation, administrative regulation, and criminal law approaches to eliciting compliance with applicable laws and regulations, discouraging illegality, and discovering wrongdoing.
